I would turn it off immediately.

In the Update Pop-up, the only difference that our actual download button would make would be that instead of downloading a file in the browser, it would download it internally, you can keep pressing "cancel" if you want.

It's hard to guess what you actually imagine under the "auto-update" function. Under it, I imagine an automatic update without the intervention of the user, which I definitely do not want.

The current way of downloading the installation package suits me fully - I install the application on multiple PCs, so I don't have to download the packages repeatedly.

I don't really see a requirement for the automatic updating. As I find the download option to be very simple. What I would take in other hand, is to avoid clicking "OK" for each time I launch app when I do not want to update it. So having just a "Help > Check Updates" option would be better for me. 

I as well love the function now that "Download" directs automatically to proper site and there is link to latest one as well the few previous ones. So I can download the proper file and perform the update as I want.

While small automation are nice here and there, this is not one of those that requires it.
